Do I qualify for a seeded start?

If you have recorded a strong time at a previous running event you may qualify for a seeded start. You will qualify automatically if you have had a top spot in previous Ports of Auckland Round the Bays events. Please remember that your name will only show up as you entered it in that previous race. If you have not participated before you will need to email roundthebays@stuff.co.nz before registering with links to your results for approval along with your full name and date of birth.
